Not only is this a story of wreck and rescue, of tragedy and triumph, it is a picture of life on the beaches of Suffolk when salvage could mean much to the village community but the concern for human life came first as the National Lifeboat Insititution placed its boats around the coasts of Britain. But much was under way in Suffolk well before the national initiative, and Cooper begins the story in those early days of the 19th century as the first lifeboats were placed on station.

Augusta State Uses Big Second Half to Bounce Saints 73-54
Contact: Steve Cunha, firstname.lastname@example.com
AUGUSTA, GA - The North Georgia men's basketball team dropped their first conference game of the season on Saturday evening, falling 72-53 to Augusta State University at Christenberry Fieldhouse.
The loss was the sixth straight for the Saints (7-6, 2-1 PBC) in the all-time series against the Jaguars (6-6, 1-1 PBC).
It was a tale of two halves for North Georgia as they trailed by just five at the half, but were out scored by 14 over the final 20 minutes of action. Heading into the contest the Saints were outscoring opponents by eight points, while the Jaguars were being outscored by 14 points.
The two teams started the game trading baskets over the first seven and a half minutes of the game as they were deadlocked at 11 apiece. The story early on for the Saints was the superb play of junior transfer Scott Windom who scored 16 of the team's first 18 points.
North Georgia grabbed their largest lead of the half and the game with just under nine minutes left in the opening half when Pat Moynihan made a pair of free throws to give the Saints the 21-15 lead.
Augusta State responded with a 17-7 run to close out the half capped by a Tye Beal trey to take a 32-27 heading into the break.
The Saints struggled offensively in the second half not making a field goal until over three minutes had passed when freshman Travis Core buried a three to bring them within a basket, but that as close as North Georgia would come.
The Jaguars responded with a 7-0 run capped by a D'Angelo Boyce layup to stretch their back to double-digits. Augusta State would not look back as they stretched their lead to as many as 24 points while shooting a whopping 56.7 percent from the field.
Windom led the offensive charge for the Saints, pouring in 18 points while shooting 50 percent from the floor, while Pat Moynihan was the only other North Georgia player in double figures scoring 14 and knocking down five of his seven shots.
Augusta State outscored North Georgia 18-0 in fast break points, and 22-5 in points off turnovers.
The Jaguars had a balanced offensive attack with four players in double figures. Leading the way was Travis Keels who scored a game-high 21 on 10 of 14 shooting.
The Saints look to rebound when they return to action on Thursday, January 12, when they host Peach Belt Conference foe UNC Pembroke in their first conference home game of the calendar year. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:30 p.m.

It is a shame that young people want to emulate Justin who has flaunt all authority & show such disregard. My grand children r not permitted to watch or listen to his music. What they do on the outside with their friends I cannot stop it. In our home it is taboo.
Would you like to pay millions to live in a "safe" neighborhood and be afraid to go outside because of a dangerous speeding driver?
like I said if he was a normal kid and not a star no one would care
Fame has come too quickly for this "boy" and someone, wether it be his family or managers, needs to make him sit back and relax for a while. How long has this kid been touring? He is going to hurt himself or someone else if something isn't done to help him.
WHY waste time even writing an article about Bieber. He is trying to be a MAN in a BOYS body...very childlike, and BABY ATTITUDE.
And they STILL continue to give him awards......he really needs to be at home with his Mother. He is in now way ready to be on his own. This fame has gone waaaaaaaaaaaaay over his head....too much too soon...too young!
...........he simply isn't ready for stardom..............

Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney will deliver a foreign policy speech Monday at Virginia Military Institute in Lexington.
According to a news release from the Romney campaign, the former Massachusetts governor will share his vision for a strong foreign policy "and the failed record of President Obama."
The event is expected to start at 11:20 a.m. Monday. Romney's speech is not open to the public. VMI does not have any other details about Romney's appearance.
This is at least Romney's third visit to the WDBJ7 viewing area. Romney gave the commencement speech at Liberty University in May, and he spoke at Cater Machinery in Salem back in June.
Romney and his running mate, Paul Ryan, are in Augusta County on Thursday. That event will start at 6:45 p.m. Thursday.
WDBJ7 will live stream the Augusta County appearance. To watch live, click here. WDBJ7 will also have coverage of that event at 5, 6, 10, and 11.

The latest Industry News
Old-school Cool at SEMA
With Fred Williams and Harry Wagner doing the heavy lifting of finding the best new products at SEMA (the annual Las Vegas gathering of the latest aftermarket parts) my job was a little, well, unformed. As I walked the halls, though, I realized the 4x4s that caught my eye had a common thread: Old guys rule.(We'll have more SEMA vehicles to show you in next month's Drivelines too.)

• We are not sure whether Automotive News got this right, but one of its reporters, after interviewing Jeep Chief Mike Manley, thought Manley was hinting that the next generation Wrangler would have (are you sitting down?) IFS. The change would be done in the name of fuel economy; IFS is lighter than a solid axle. "We're already in an environment where it's a challenge to produce a vehicle in that way, and it's going to get harder," Manley said of the solid-axle Wrangler. "What I can tell you is that the vehicle is absolutely fundamental to our DNA, and it's going to become progressively harder to make sure that the vehicle meets all of the standards that are required for it." AN says the change, if it happens, will come when the Wrangler is revised for 2016. However, we have more background information than our colleagues at AN, and we bet it won't be as bad as what they inferred.
• Automotive News also reports that an axle shortage has slowed production of regular- and double-cab versions of the '14 Silverado and Sierra pickups. There are plenty of crew cabs on dealer lots, says the trade paper, but dealers are having to wait for the other versions. GM says production will ramp up and that there will be no loss of overall pickup production.
• Quantum Automotive has acquired Superlift Suspension and Superlift Manufacturing. The new owners are "committed to building on Superlift's 35 year history and recognition by off road enthusiasts," and will offer Superlift's suspension products to customers factory-direct as well as through installers and dealers.
• The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety has named the '14 Jeep Grand Cherokee a Top Safety Pick after the SUV got the highest possible score in the organization's collision and rollover tests.
• Remember the "Farmer" Super Bowl ad that Ram ran earlier this year? The company pledged to donate up to $1 million to the Future Farmers of America (FFA) based on the number of views the ad tallied on YouTube. Turns out the ad got 10 million views in less than a week, and Ram made good on the pledge, handing a $1 million check to Clay Sapp, the 2012-2013 national FFA president, at the 2013 National FFA Convention & Expo in Louisville, Kentucky.
Earth Watch
• The North American XJ Association (NAXJA), an internet-based XJ/MJ club, has donated $5,000 to the BlueRibbon Coalition (BRC) to support the BRC's ongoing work with land-use issues. "This is a continued storyline for NAXJA in supporting land use over the course of our history," noted the club's President Matt Rowland. NAXJA was incorporated 15 years ago and just held its third national event in Moab.
• Michigan Governor Rick Snyder recently signed several bills that should open more access for off-road recreational vehicles (ORVs) in the state. The new laws enable local governments to request permission of the state's Department of Transportation to allow ORVs to operate on the shoulders of state roads where the roads connect ORV areas; allow all of Michigan's counties to request ORV road access; and expand the list of activities where an ORV license is not required.
• CORVA reports that the Los Angeles County Parks & Recreation department is planning an OHV Park in the Littlerock area of Los Angeles County (near Palmdale). Visit the association's website, www.corva.org, for more information on how you can support this effort.
The Rage Foundation
This past summer's Jeeper's Jamboree was marred by a horrific accident. A Jeep rolled off Cadillac Hill and caught fire, gravely injuring a young woman, Rachel Anne Gray. First responders put the fire out quickly, but Gray suffered second- and third-degree burns over 75 percent of her body. A CalStar medical flight team was dispatched to the scene, was there within minutes, and transported her to the burn unit at the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. She put up a valiant fight but succumbed to her injuries a month after the accident.
Buggy racer Matt Hall was among the first on the scene and helped carry Gray to the CalStar helicopter. After the incident, Hall's wife Cathi launched the Rachel Anne Gray Foundation—or the Rage Foundation, after Gray's nickname—to raise funds towards her medical bills. Since her passing, the Rage Foundation continues and has made donations to the UC Davis Medical Center, Shriner's Hospital, and "to promote off-road safety and awareness," says Cathi Hall. To find out more about the Rage Foundation and contribute to this good cause, visit the foundation's Facebook page, facebook.com/RAGEFoundation.

Going the Distance
We tested a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited in a different way recently when we used it as a chase/support vehicle for ultramarathon runner Maggie Beach. She was competing in the inaugural Stagecoach Line 100, a 100-mile footrace along trails that once comprised the stagecoach route between Flagstaff, Arizona, and the rim of the Grand Canyon. The Jeep carried Beach's food, hydration, and medical supplies, plus her crew and pacers.
Getting to the race's checkpoints and aid stations meant travel on dirt Forest Service roads, which ranged from nicely graded to deeply rutted. The Jeep handled every bump, rut, and loose surface without breaking a sweat, leaving other crew vehicles in a cloud of dust—literally. The Pentastar V-6 was perfect for this kind of use: powerful enough for high-speed blasts between checkpoints and frugal enough to return high 20-mpg fuel economy on the highway. When nighttime temperatures dipped into the low 20s, we truly appreciated the Jeep's heated seats and steering wheel.
The Jeep did great, and so did Beach: Fifth Place overall, Second Place female, and a personal best time for a trail 100-miler: 21 hours 45 minutes.


text: So I raced down to Zegna straight after work today and... didn't buy anything. The sensible old side of me won the battle and the lover of ties side of me is feeling quite sore right now. $80 for a tie, I don't know how I'm almost willing to drop that much down, when this very same time last year I declared that there is no way I'm dropping more than $40 on one.

As many a parent will attest, child-rearing often comes down to choosing your battles. That certainly holds true in the kitchen.
So while you wouldn't dream of banning frozen treats, you feel justified putting the kibosh on the ones containing red No. 3 and other wacky ingredients. One way to minimize the food dyes and unpronounceables is to remake your kids' favorite snacks from scratch.
"A lot of processed, pre-made products are loaded with unnecessary stuff and super-high in sodium," says Cricket Azima, founder of The Creative Kitchen, a company aimed at promoting culinary skills among children.
Looking to sneak a little disodium inosinate into your kids' diets? Neither are we. Which is why we love Azima's snack mix recipe, in place of Chex Mix (which contains the aforementioned additive, among several others).
We've also been known to dabble in DIY versions of both Jell-O and Pop-Tarts, recipes for which are plentiful on mommy blogs.
With the imitation Pop-Tart, you can add a little healthy boost by using fresh fruit instead of preserves. Mix together a little less than 2 tablespoons of fruit and 1/2 teaspoon small tapioca pearl per pastry. Fresh blueberries make a good choice because you don't have to precook them.
Munchie Mix
Mix together in a large bowl:
1 cup dried apples
1 cup dried bananas
1 cup dried strawberries
1 cup mini-pretzels
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup dried cranberries
1 cup raw or roasted unsalted almonds
1 cup raisins
1/2 cup sunflower seeds
1 cup cereal (Cheerios work well)
Gelatin snacks
Soak 2 1/4 tablespoons unflavored gelatin in 1/2 cup cold water until softened. Heat 3 cups fruit juice (your choice) to boiling in a saucepan. Pour hot juice over gelatin. Add sugar to taste. Chill until gelled.
Imitation Pop-Tarts
2 pie crusts, 9 inches each
3/4 cup all-fruit jam
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1/4 cup milk
Heat oven to 425 degrees. Roll pie crust flat, and as rectangular as possible, about 12-inches-by-10 inches. Trim to make the sides as even as possible. Cut the dough into rectangles about 3-inches-by-10 inches. Spread the dough with jam, leaving about a 1/2-inch border without jam. Fold dough over top; crimp sides with a fork. Bake until golden, 12-16 minutes. For glaze, slowly whisk milk into confectioner's sugar to consistency of syrup. Allow tarts to cool; drizzle with glaze. Makes 8 servings.

Lakers' Bryant says he won't join Jordan as an NBA team owner in retirement
By Ben Golliver
Lakers guard Kobe Bryant joined basketball legend Michael Jordan in the 30,000-point club this week and, as the famous video of identical plays shown above made clear, no one has done a better MJ impersonation than the Black Mamba. The two guards have shared similar mannerisms, highlights and endorsement deals, but Bryant said this week that there's one path Jordan has traveled that he has no plans to touch: NBA ownership.
"I don't know if ownership is really the right thing for me," Bryant told Bloomberg News in a video interview. "I'd go crazy. If a player misses a game because he has a broken fingernail, I'd lose my mind. I wouldn't be able to take it."
Jordan earned more than $90 million in NBA salary plus hundreds of millions more in endorsement revenue. Bryant has earned more than $220 million in salary and has more than $57 million guaranteed remaining on his contract, which runs through 2013-14. Ownership, as Jordan found out, is about far more than having the coin to cut the checks.
After winning six titles as a player, Jordan has suffered through some terrible losing seasons as owner of the Bobcats and as a front office executive for the Wizards. He reportedly had some memorable run-ins with players who weren't as committed to the game as he was, including Kwame Brown. If that ownership grind isn't for Bryant, he said he has no plans to fall off the face of the planet.
"I'll be around the game and hopefully my brand can live on past my career," Bryant said.
The "brand" talk was a nod to the success of Nike's Jordan Brand and pertinent to the interview because Bryant was promoting the latest iteration of his own signature sneaker.
Following in Jordan's sneaker steps at Nike has made Bryant a satisfied spokesperson.
"Nike is filled with ultra-competitive people," he told Bloomberg News. "We're all cut from the same cloth and speak the same language. Designers, tech engineers, so forth and so on, are as passionate about their respective fields as I am in mine. … When I first signed with Nike, I told Charlie Denson and Mark Parker, I felt like Harry Potter just landed at Hogwarts. I'm right at home surrounded by all these incredible designers."
On the court, Bryant's Lakers are off to a 9-10 start, arguably the NBA's most disappointing team. Bryant didn't address his team's struggles in the interview, but said he was hoping to help set the Lakers up for their next chapter.
"Especially now at this stage of my career, you see the light at the end of the tunnel, you feel a sense of pride," he said. "I've played for this organization but I want to see this organization be successful when I'm gone. It's about helping them and doing whatever I can to help them set themselves up for the next generation."

Would be interesting if you had to switch one starter every game. Player can only switch once until entire lineup has switched. Number one rule - only the winning team gets paid.
SF-Aminu & F/C-J-Smit over to OKC
SG-Sefolosha & SF-PJ III to NOLA
Any chance we could bring PF/C-DJ White back over from the Chinese league to fill the void left by Smith?

Why does everyone wanna trade Smoove now? Wasn't there a topic saying how untouchable he was?
I would like to see Rivers for Rondo. I couldn't imagine Davis getting all those lobs like Paul gives to Griffin.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
As far as "Untouchable", fans opinions are rarely inline with teams opinions. I'd say at the moment, Davis is as close to untouchable as can get on this team, thou I hope Anderson is close behind him. I'd hate to see Lopez or Rivers traded, but would be understandable if the return was quality. This team is still rebuilding and I wouldn't get too attached to any player at this point. It's about getting better and building a contender. Hard decisions will have to be made, sooner or later.

Yes J Smiths value around the league is lower than his value to us thats why I would not trade him. IMO he is a great 4 or 5th big. IMO Smith > Collison for this team.

Problem with NAT
I'm trying to use the NAT dynamic translation and here is the example that I use to test it and understand it! Unfortunately It doesn't run...!
Could someone help me?

When I'm connected with SSH it is always the same IP Adresse for my computer :

30 1 out TCP 1000 192.168.10.252:22 192.168.10.88:50263 ESTAB
That's great news! It looks like NAT is working as expected for you.
When you SSH to the ACE appliance (192.168.10.249), you are not being NAT'd since there isn't a need. You are terminating the SSH connection on the ACE itself for managment. If you needed to SSH to the web servers through the load-balancer, you will need another class-map to match 192.168.10.250 on tcp eq ssh.
Please let me know if that is confusing or not. Thank you.

[QUOTE=SweetPoison;63456] It is funny how one can love a movie and one can hate it
another movie i loved but my girl did like but did not love was Sweet Home Alabama ..for me i understood the woman more than my girl did for i came from a small town background and when i took my girl to see the small town that i grew up in for we went back to the high school class reunion .. she was like you where not kidding about rolling up the sidewalks when it got dark around here along with haveing everyone in your life and your personal business when it came to liveing in the town ..
she tease me a little about beening a little redneck white trash at times when it comes to some of my ways and manners . ..so she learn that small town life is not allway what it like in the movies and how a lot of the kids growing up wanted to get away from it ..me as soon as i was old enough i left for the military and had not been back for a while only to attend my mom and dad funerals and that was it ..
This is right up my alley, as I have a degree in film studies...
My fav movie of all time was Scarface, but now is Inception.. I even have the same exact totem from the movie!

'A record that makes you think you've died and gone to heaven. It's that good' (Blues And Soul); 'country soul heaven' (Music Week); 'a thorough object lesson in just how ageless real soul can be... Stunning!' (In The Basement); 'a marvellous work' (Record Collector); 'a stunning return and a hard-won triumph' (Daily Telegraph).
There are southern soul voices and there are southern soul voices. Raw and ravaged, Candi Statons is one of the signature sounds of the genre. Its a voice with a tear in it, the cry of a woman wounded by life, by men, by woes turned inwards.
On her new album for Honest Jons, its also the voice of a gospel singer returning to the music that first made her name: the country soul songs presented by the same label on its 2004 compilation Candi Staton, twenty-six tracks of Muscle Shoals magic.
I hadnt done that type of music in so long, says the woman who over 20 years ago went back to the church in the darkest hours of alcoholism. I just closed my eyes and began to get off into it. I missed it, I honestly did. I missed singing those love songs, because my life doesnt just consist of the church.
For those who regard Candis Muscle Shoals recordings as a high-watermark of country soul, her return to the secular side comes as a blessed relief. Two decades plus of spreading the Word through her Beracah ministry led many to assume she would never again sing songs of love and pain let alone record songs written by Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard, Charlie Rich and even Will Bonnie Prince Billy Oldham.
Written by Americana maverick Oldham, the title track of His Hands will go down as one of the bravest, most chilling performances of Candis career. Asked by Lambchop producer Mark Nevers to write a song for the album, Oldham penned a distillation of Statons traumatic experiences as an abused and terrified wife.
Its kind of a gospel song and its kind of not, says Staton. It ends up pointing you to the Redeemer, but it starts out telling you about a normal, natural man and what he would do to you in an abusive situation. I enjoyed singing that because its so much like my life. Ive lived through every line of that song. When Nevers played the finished version to him over the phone, Candis performance reduced Oldham to tears.
Marks place was very nice, very calm, says Staton. He has every room in his house rigged for recording, so as Im going in Im thinking, Wheres the studio? Hes like, Youre in it. So I just made myself at home.
Work began in Nashville in June 2005, employing an intriguing crew of musicians, including various Lambchoppers, Candis son Marcus Williams on drums and daughter Cassandra Hightower on backing vocals, and Muscle Shoals legend Barry Beckett (coming out of retirement to participate) on the trusty Hammond B3 organ.
Staton hadnt seen Beckett since those legendary sessions at the FAME studio. Barry had been a core part of the Muscle Shoals unit assembled by producer Rick Hall, playing on such classic Candi tracks as Id Rather Be an Old Mans Sweetheart and Im Just a Prisoner (Of Your Good Lovin).
I hadnt seen Barry in thirty years, not since wed done our last record with Rick, says Staton. He says his fingers arent as fast as they used to be, but he still has his little fills. It was such a blessing seeing him.
Aretha Franklins abortive 1967 visit to FAME had produced both Do Right Woman and I Never Loved a Man (The Way I Love You), paving the way for a succession of Chess soul sisters who came to the Shoals to get the Rick Hall treatment: Etta James, Laura Lee, Irma Thomas and more. But if Staton followed in their footsteps she was clear about being her own woman. When I was a child I was very adamant about not sounding like anyone else, she says. When everybody else was trying to sound like Aretha I tried not to sound like her. I wanted to have my own style.
There was a pleading urgency, and a vulnerability, in Statons FAME sides that not even James or Lee ever quite touched. Whether taking a bluesy leaf out of Arethas Chain of Fools on Im Just a Prisoner, funking up country staples such as Stand By Your Man and He Called Me Baby, or just tearing the innards out of the harrowing Heart on a String and You Dont Love Me No More, Staton never gave less than her all in the studio. In my mind Ive never forgotten any of those songs, she says.
Candis most famous recording came about several years after she left Muscle Shoals. Following producer Dave Crawford out to California, she made her third marriage - to Tyrone Davis promoter, Jimmy James - and commenced a period of domestic misery and abuse (not her first). Crawfords song Young Hearts Run Free was inspired by the painful stories that Candi told him about life with James.
We would sit down and I would tell him the horrors I was going through in the marriage I was trying to get out of, Staton remembers. I would bring David incidents, and little did I know he was making mental notes and writing all that stuff down. A masterpiece of marital grief You count up the years/And they will be filled with tears Young Hearts also placed Staton in the middle of the disco outbreak of 1976. The following year she recorded the Bee Gees Nights on Broadway.
By the early 80s Staton was in limbo, and drinking heavily. I had such low self-esteem when I started in the entertainment world, she says. I had no one in my family to show me any confidence. Alcohol enabled me to get out there in front of all those people and sing. I couldnt even think of going onstage without being at least a third drunk.
She was also coming to terms with the patterns of abuse and subjugation in her life, tracing them back to the experience of growing up with an alcoholic father. Your real role model is not an artist or an entertainer, its your parents, she reflects. And what you see them do, usually it comes down through the generations. I saw how my father would drink and abuse my mother and they would fight all the time. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew it wasnt right, but you pick those same kind of men. Ive married the same man over and over again. He just looked different and wore different clothes.
In 1982 Staton saw the light, and knew she had to quit drinking. I had allowed alcohol to take my life over, she says. I was destroying everything in my body. One day I just went cold turkey and said, Im not gonna do this anymore. Instead she returned to the church of her childhood, forsaking soul music for the gospel of her formative years. In time she established her own ministry and television show. How, one wonders, will the gospel faithful view her reconciliation with secular music on His Hands?
There will be some religious folk that will come against me, and even maybe some DJs, Staton says. Theyll be disappointed maybe that Im singing love songs. But I call them life songs. Just because you go to church youre not alienated from life.
A third wind in Statons secular career came in 1991 when club act The Source sampled a gospel track she had recorded for comedian Dick Gregory. You Got The Love has twice been a UK hit for Staton, giving her a whole new profile on this side of the Atlantic. When the song didnt happen in America, I thought, Oh well, another one bites the dust, she admits. And then I got a call from London saying the song was on the charts. The good thing was, they couldnt pay me so they gave me half the publishing!
Staton has the lions share of the publishing on four of the songs on His Hands, all of them concerned with the sorrows of love gone wrong. Its Not Easy Letting Go was about my son, whose wife just one day walked off and left him with two kids, Candi says. I realized its not easy letting go, even of someone whos treated you so bad. Ill Sing A Love Song To You is about somebody who had a crush on somebody that didnt know they had a crush on them. How Do I Get Over You came from me watching a movie one night. In Name Only is about watching people in church that were having difficulties with their husbands or wives, and they were just sitting up there in the church in name only. You knew them as a couple, but they werent really a couple anymore.
Pooling her compositions with the other, sometimes-hard-fought nominations, Staton set to work at the Beech House. The results, arranged simply with room for her voice to stretch out, feel like a musical rebirth.
At first I thought, What kind of record is this?, but the more I listened to it the more I began to love it, Staton says. Mark is not your everyday producer, but you get the whole feeling with him. Ive always believed that less is more in the studio. Let the artist sing the song and just give enough instrumentation to make it sound good. Only Nevers use of such unorthodox effects as the underwater violin (in her words) was disconcerting.
She came back after Id done some overdubs, Nevers recalls. I had some of my space stuff up too loud and she said, Whats all the woo-woo and the wang-wang?! I said, Its not gonna be that loud, dont worry. I think I kind of freaked her out a bit.
The use of pedal steel, played by Patti Loveless sideman Pete Finney, also threw Staton. Unlike those of Bettye Swann, another Shoals country-soul queen, Statons FAME sides held back from employing that emblematic Nashville instrument. I thought she had had steel guitar on her records before, says Nevers, but it turned out she never had. So that kind of freaked her out too!
The only real stipulation Staton made, though, was refusing to sing the kinds of cheatin song she specialized in at FAME: Sure As Sin, Mr And Mrs Untrue, Another Mans Woman, Another Womans Man. I couldnt do that, Candi says. Ive been hurt too badly in that area, and I have feelings for wives, and about women who go around singing Im gonna take your man.
With His Hands, Candi Staton breaks your heart without resorting to songs about adultery. Mark Nevers for one will never forget the experience. Having that kind of voice in this house, my God! he exclaims. She just slayed us.

Balloon Mania
On August 27, 1783, the skies above the French commune of Gonesse were briefly darkened by a floating figure. The peasants, filled with fear by the unusual sight, shot down the hovering object and attacked it with pitchforks because they believed it was a monster. The "monster" was actually a hot air balloon. This scene of armed farmers surrounding a deflated balloon is one of the vignettes depicted on Le Ballon de Gonesse, a commemorative textile that captures the popularity of balloons in late eighteenth-century France.

When we entered the aquarium, volunteers, who were happy to talk about the amazing sea life we were observing, greeted us. It was nice to have someone to learn from and ask questions to rather than just reading the fact sheets that you find at most aquariums. The aquarium featured many species that inhabit the southwestern Florida region, as well as exhibits depicting research at Mote. We saw sharks in the 135,000-gallon shark exhibit, touched marine life in Contact Cove and Remarkable Rays displays, and watched Mysterious Mollusks.
A second building across the road housed Mote's Marine Mammal Center featuring resident manatees, sea turtles, and Mote's aquaculture work. The Roy and Susan Palmer Sea Turtle Center educates the public about sea turtles and the importance of conservation and rehabilitates sick and injured sea turtles. The exhibit is home to non-releasable turtles and also serves as a temporary home for turtles undergoing rehabilitation. My sons learned about how sea turtles bury their eggs and the hatchlings run to the sea. The whole family was amazed by a giant sea turtle who had recently been rescued and was in the process of being rehabilitated. We later learned that the turtle passed away the next day. How sad! However, the Mote Marine Laboratory is doing incredible work to help the species survive.
Hours are from 10am to 5pm daily, including all holidays. They were even open Christmas Day!
General Admission is $12 for adults and $8 for children (ages 4 to 12).
To receive a discount coupon, go to their website. While there, check out their Calendar of Mote Events.
The laboratory is also studying he red tide in Florida. For information and updates, check out the Mote Marine Red Tide Update page.
I highly recommend the aquarium for a half-day family trip. If you really want to learn about marine life, book their educational boat trip as part of a combination package.

Fernande Olivier (18811966), Picassos first mistress, was completely absorbed into the artists practices, establishing the standard for how his lovers would pervade his portraiture over the course of his eight-decade career. Oliviers relationship with Picasso coincided with the artists exploration of a proto-primitive style that would lead him to his first decisive steps toward Cubism. These two busts of Olivier were modeled during that shift, and the difference between the two exemplifies the artists remarkable transition period. In the earlier work, Oliviers head is simplified, reduced. Her hair is fixed to her head and neck, almost an afterthought to the strong jaw, thick neck and solid features that Picasso had admired in the early medieval sculpture of his native northwest Spain and imposed here. Three years later, the artist was drawing from primitive art, both Iberian and African, and was beginning his dialogue with the spatial implications that informed early Cubism. In his Head of Fernande from 1909, he inflicted Oliviers visage with a series of planes, effectively dividing her head, face and neck into dozens of segments.

So here's how my second load on the
clothesline turned out.
Anyone else have art projects
and tie-dye pillowcases
drying in their backyard?
I love the art projects on the line. Why shouldn't it be multi-purpose. I would like a clothes line, but there is some village ordinance and my yard is too small to hide one. I use the pipes in the basement. Not quite the same...... I love how you made your clothes line special.
Your blog so makes me miss having smaller kids. They just don't like to tie dye like they used to.
You have the coolest clothes line I have ever seen!
Your comment today was so funny. I'm glad you liked your gifts! Thanks for playing. It was fun shopping for people that I only know through blogs!
Those are very very cool.

When I'm tired, where exactly am I tired?
Madrid, Spain
Well, it depends. What kind of "tired" are you talking about? If you've been exercising, the answer's pretty clear, says James Krueger, a sleep researcher here at WSU. The tiredness is in your muscles. What's not so clear, though, is how that tiredness relates to sleep.
This is an excellent example of the trouble that being scientific gets you into. If you don't worry about the details, no big deal. You work hard. You get tired. You go to sleep. You wake up ready to go again.
But of course, the body isn't quite that simple. Like everything else, the body is full of causes and effects. Connecting those causes and effects is the hard part. If you exercise heavily, says Professor Krueger, the number of white blood cells in your blood goes way up. White blood cells are the front line of your immune system. Also, your body produces all sorts of cytokines. These proteins regulate your immune system.
What's interesting is that some of these cytokines are also involved in regulating sleep. And they're also what give you that achy feeling when you've exercised a lot. Interestingly, even if you don't exercise, but don't get any sleep, your muscles will ache.
Now, if our science were perfect, at this point we'd put the pieces together and say AHA, this is what "tired" is all about. But all we can actually say is that some chemical signal is generated in your muscles, that signal is sent to your brain, and your brain interprets it as "tired."
Speaking of your brain, that's another story. Even though you feel tired when you don't get enough sleep, your brain itself doesn't really feel "tired." In fact, according to some recent experiments, it seems that when you're asleep, your brain is actually going over things from when you were awake. Some birds, for example, seem to rehearse their songs while they're asleep!
So if your brain isn't tired, why does it have to sleep? And how much of the brain goes to sleep when you're asleep?
It doesn't seem like single cells go to sleep, says Professor Krueger. On the other hand, we know that the whole brain doesn't need to go to sleep for you to be "asleep." Some animals, for example, go to sleep half a brain at a time. Some researchers recently found that when a flock of ducks goes to sleep, the ducks on the outer edge will sleep with one eye open and half their brain awake while the other eye and brain-half are asleep! Whales and dolphins also sleep a half-brain at a time. That's how they keep from drowning while they sleep.
But back to "tired." What IS that tired, groggy feeling you feel when you haven't had enough sleep? "We really don't know," says Professor Krueger. You lose the ability to focus and concentrate. You don't think clearly. You get uncoordinated. But what exactly does it mean? That's part of what sleep researchers are trying to figure out. That – and why exactly we need to sleep.
Most of that tired feeling you get in your muscles can be cured by just resting. So why do we need to be unconscious for eight hours every night?
Professor Krueger believes that sleep helps the brain save its "synaptic superstructure." What this means is that your genes gave your brain a certain pattern of synapses, or connections between neurons. During the day, your brain is constantly rearranging itself and reforming patterns and talking to itself in different ways. What sleep does, thinks Professor Kmeger, is shift these synaptic patterns back to their original design!

Runway Reviews: Cynthia Steffe and Generra

(NEW YORK) Generra
With talented new creative direction at the helm—namely, Swaim and Christina Hutson, formerly designers of Obedient Sons and Daughters—Generra has been injected with a much-needed dose of verve. The 30-odd looks presented at Hiro Friday night were rendered in Snow White-inspired shades of hot pink, cerulean, pine, and acid yellow. Preppy-gone-trippy, there was plenty to covet. For the girls, colorblocked cheerleader skirts and draped velvet dresses proved immensely appealing, especially when considered alongside slouchy army-green parkas and lean grey leather leggings. Low-rise pleated cargo pants, tapered at the ankle, best exemplified how the Hutsons plan to make this brand a hit on the sales floor as well. As for the menswear? Well, it's destined for things greater than the pages of GQ. (No offense to Jim Moore, who was seated in the front row.) The refined sweatpants, cuffed chinos in unexpected shades like blood red, and groovy ways of mixing colors will infuse American fashion far beyond the fashion world. Expect imitators.
Cynthia Steffe
"It all started when I was in Brooklyn and saw these cool girls and boys hanging out together," explained designer Sean Kearney. "The boys were dapper, and the girls wore military capes, pretty blouses and cute Mary Jane. The cool school uniform became the start of the collection." Pleats, knee socks and buttoned-up necklines were polished without a trace of juvenilia. Kearney's schoolgirl sophisticate smartened up in a corset dress, shrunken suit or a chocolate vegetal leather vest. "I ventured into the world of knitwear with sweaters this season," Kearney continued. "It's a whole new classification that I hadn't touched on before. This is still the same girl from springtime, but she's cleaned up a bit." Clean and cohesive, Kearney's vision was keenly calculated and yet playfully carefree.

An 18-year resident of Thomas Avenue, Siders was one of a dozen residents of the Rocky Hollow neighborhood walking the streets on Saturday to clean the trash from yards and gutters.
"The last couple of years, people have lost concern for this community," she said, "so we've got to restore that."
The cleanup is part of a continued effort that began last fall by residents of Rocky Hollow and surrounding streets who wanted to stem what they saw as the declining quality of life in the neighborhood.
"We were tired of just every weekend, calling the police and living in a place filled with trash and crime and feeling like the city really didn't give a crap," said Gina Armstrong, a resident of Woodland Avenue.
But since a community meeting in August and an October cleanup day that consisted of a great deal of lawn work in addition to trash collection, she said, city officials have been available, helpful and responsive to the residents' ideas and concerns.
"If it's crazy ideas, they'll tell us it's crazy," she said, "but they'll look at what could be done."
The residents have since formed a loosely organized neighborhood association, which Jennifer Maddox has agreed to lead.
She said volunteers on Saturday were cleaning Rocky Hollow Road and Woodland Avenue and the streets that connect to them.
Through the effort, she said, volunteers "hope to gain visibility, to let the neighbors know there are people who care, and they're not alone."
Even more, Maddox said, neighbors are being shown "they can participate in helping return this neighborhood to its former glory."
Members of the cleanup crew passed out fliers announcing a citywide cleanup day on April 27, along with a pamphlet from Anniston's Code Enforcement Department listing code violations and containing information for reporting a violation.
Events like Saturday's cleanup demonstrate, said Rocky Hollow resident Steve Box, "that there are people who care about this neighborhood, and it sends a signal that we are concerned and we are trying to do our part in the community."
Box said he was disgusted by some of the things he picked up along the streets, particularly a number of used condoms in addition to the fast food wrappers and beer bottles.
He said a reported assault last week on Rocky Hollow Road was quite disconcerting for residents because they thought they had been making progress with the amount of crime in the neighborhood.
"When we heard about an assault, that really bothered us," he said. "It's not intimidating, it's angering, and it solidifies the resolve to change it."
And that's what Saturday's cleanup was about, he said: demonstrating that there is a problem but also a solution.
"You can be part of the process and try to fight it, or you can be part of the problem," he said. "We'd like all of our neighbors to be part of the process and not part of the problem."

Duluth News Tribune (Minn.) (04.24.13)
On April 23, the Minnesota Department of Health reported that St. Louis County had 14 new HIV infections reported in 2012, up from just two in 2011. Statewide, the number of cases was up slightly, from 292 in 2011 to 315 in 2012, according to the health department's annual report. Jessica Brehmer, a health department HIV epidemiologist, stated that the majority of the cases were in the seven-county Twin Cities metropolitan area. However, St. Louis County had both the third-highest number of cases and the third-highest rate, with a rate of seven cases for every 100,000 people. Dr. Andrew Thompson, an infectious disease specialist at St. Luke's hospital, said that the increase from two to 14 in St. Louis County is "a pretty big jump for a county that's not that big in population."
Olmsted County, by contrast, where Rochester is the county seat, had one new case in 2012, too statistically insignificant to compute a rate, according to health department data. Another county that had only one new case was Lake County in Northeastern Minnesota. No new cases were reported in Carlton or Cook counties. Thompson said that the St. Louis County numbers are upsetting, particularly combined with the health department's recent report stating that Minnesota's STD numbers had reached an all-time high. However, Brehmer said that the number of HIV cases reported statewide was about at the 10-year average of 317.
The health department noted in a news release that HIV infections are tougher on socially disadvantaged groups—in terms of education, employment, housing, and income—than they are on the general population. Brehmer said that the HIV infection increase is also taking a toll among males in the 13–24 age range. Thompson theorized, "My suspicion is they didn't live through the 1980s, and they don't have that kind of fear that the older generation has (about AIDS). I worry about that cavalier attitude that young people may have."
Minnesota has had 10,112 HIV/AIDS cases since the health department began tracking AIDS in 1982 and HIV in 1985. An estimated 7,516 people are living with HIV in Minnesota now, according to the department's news release.
